About Me

In my first year of Ph.D., I moved into an apartment and had a kitchen to myself for the first time in my life. Shifting away from family and managing everything on my own, especially the food was not fun at the start, but I slowly found the rhythm and learned to cook.

That’s where my love of cooking began.

Solid Gold Eats exists as a way for me to share my the recipes from our weeknight and weekend dinners to you so you can be inspired to cook at home, too.

Not only do I love to eat, I love to try new things in the kitchen and constantly challenge my perception of what I CAN do.

It’s been a while since then and I’m still cooking all of the time, now with more experiences and ideas than I can contain in my head.

My recipes are focused on what I ate for dinner that night, a few appetizers and party food ideas, some canning and preserving methods and an all-around interest in learning new ways of cooking the same foods and brand new ingredients that I have never heard of before. There is no gimmick to the type of food I share, just what I enjoy eating – sometimes grilled, ethnic, sweet, salty, but mostly savory and ALWAYS delicious.

I have no formal culinary background, but that doesn’t matter so much as my interest and desire to constantly learn more about being a home cook. I am constantly intrigued and fascinated by the SCIENCE behind food, which I explore in these posts:

Introduction to Sous Vide cooking, which applies techniques such as vacuum sealing and water temperatures to cooking

Using the KitchenAid Food Grinder to make Italian sausage and steak burgers

Canning and preserving my garden harvest to enjoy in the middle of Hoosier winters

Here are a few highlights from the past two years of hosting Solid Gold Eats:
